Built for speed indoors or out, Sphero 2.0 goes twice as fast with the same precise control. And it shines three times as bright for amazing effects in low-light conditions, with multi-colored LEDs you can change at the touch of a button.

Warning: Sphero 2.0 is not intended for children under the age of 8. Do not change or modify Sphero 2.0 except with approved accessories.

The Sphero 2.0 is FANTASTIC! It is fast and fun to control! It is 100% waterproof so you can drive it in a pool or through puddles with no problem!

My kids love Sphero!My cats love Sphero!I love Sphero :)

It is really enjoyable to drive this clever little robot. I definitely recommend this.

It does take a bit to get used to the controls, but if you are struggling, just bring down the speed until you get used to it! You will be going on walks and hitting ramps in no time.

DO buy this version with the white nubby cover and cary bag. The cover protects Sphero and make him a better swimmer! The cover is great and looks cool too!

I bought this thinking it was better than sliced bread. But when I started using it, I noticed it was not very fast as claimed, also controling it is a challange in itself (you have to constantly be reseting the steering). Apps are not reliable at all; many do not connect with ball.

First time users will be very amused, but after a short while it will be an expensive paper weight.

I just got Sphero for my 8th birthday. I love the color changing. You can earn points with Sphero with some of the apps. I only gave it four stars because it takes 3 hours to charge for only one hour of play time!

Great gift! Sphero was a big hit and provided fun for many different ages of visiting children over the holidays. The toddlers followed it around (incessantly) and the teenagers made it do tricks and then used it in gaming. Brookstone's combo pack was just what we needed, and the price was excellent. With a coupon code and free shipping, it was even better.

I bought two of these; one for my son and one for my nephew. They play with them for hours at a time. The battery lasts! They have taken their Spheros to a nursing home to play while visiting a relative and two of the residents joined in the fun and chased the Spheros around from their wheelchairs. The kids of course allow them to catch the Spheros. The nursing home staff was surprised when one of the residents, who never smiles, was laughing, giggling, and smiling nonstop. This resident even commented that she could not remember when she had so much fun. This is a great toy and an even better rehabilitator!

I am a low tech grandparent that bought Sphero for a high tech 13 yr old grandson, based on a recommendation. First I looked at several online videos that showed the basics of Sphero use, plus suggestions for creative use. The Brookstone Sphero package had the plus of including the bubble textured flexible cover that is recommended for use outdoors and also for rough or carpeted surfaces. Sometimes holiday gifts that are not ready to play with get put aside. Sphero does not require original charging or additional batteries. My grandson could easily and quickly download the basic app on both his iPod and my iPad and play with it right away. It was an instant hit, even with the adults. He could make it dance, change colors, race down corridors, weave in and out of furniture, legs, obstacle courses, or even use it outside on the driveway or patio. It is fun and invites creative use. Will purchase this for other members of the family.

we bought this as a Christmas present. My son absolutely loves it! We're still working out the kinks and getting to understand how to use it but he's found several apps that he can use to play additional games online. It's brought him hours of fun already. I recommend it!
